Animal Restraint and Handling Techniques

Safety First for Everyone

Proper restraint is essential for safe exams, procedures, and stress reduction in animals.

Methods

  • Manual holds (scruff, lateral, sternal)
  • Muzzles, towels, or cat bags
  • Chemical restraint for fractious patients

Compassion is Key

Always use the least amount of restraint necessary, and watch for signs of stress or fear.

Real-Life Benefits

Good handling keeps both animals and staff safe and calm during veterinary visits.

Examples

  • Safely muzzling a nervous dog for a blood draw.

  • Using a towel wrap to calm a fearful cat for an exam.
